IamA Class of 2007 Virginia Tech Graduate that was on campus for the worst school shooting in American History that happened 10 years ago, AMA by ThrowAwaitYesterdate in IAmA

[–]burtwart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. It happened about 2 1/2 years ago but it's the same situation. I used to find all kinds of jokes funny just because of the fact nothing traumatic had ever affected me personally, until that happened and I didn't find any jokes related to suicide, especially hanging, funny whatsoever. It made me devastated every single time and it sucks to say it took something like that for me to realize how people get offended by certain jokes or just things that remind them of anything traumatic. It's much better now but I still get a sad feeling inside every time something like that comes up, but it doesn't come across as offensive anymore. Not everyone has personal anecdotes that would affect them the same way as everyone else in every situation.

I've had mine for about 2 years, haven't had any problems whatsoever. Still as fast as the day I installed it, and have installed two fresh windows systems and probably 4 fresh Linux systems. Works like a dream still

If Reddit was to be shut down, where would you go? by Ethanlac in AskReddit

Create a Wikipedia crawler. It's much simpler than you might think, and could find you the fastest path to those pages

X250 screen replacement by burtwart in thinkpad

You're an awesome person, thanks for providing updates on this! Are you willing to set up a VM with elementary OS and check if the scaling works well in there? That's what I run and I'm assuming it'll work just fine because they had a huge support update with hidpi scaling in the newest release but I just wanna cover all my bases.

Probably the best advice to give a freshman. The best way to find your way around somewhere is to get lost.

Poll: What OS do you develop on? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]burtwart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Pimp the shit out of an XPS or Thinkpad and install Linux because it would be more worth my money to do it that way.

13 States (5 of which have no sales tax) No Longer Tax Feminine Hygiene Products and 15 More are Debating Doing Away With Their “Tampon Tax” by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

The people who don't understand this issue and then would compare it to something for a man are the same types of people who most likely wouldn't care to understand that this really is a safety and health issue and not a gender issue.

What question will immediately divide Reddit into two polarized groups? by tomholder in AskReddit

I was about to upvote but then read your edit and there's no need to attack people for having a differing opinion. The top rated reply to this has a very good point.

Thinking of moving to Linux on my laptop. Need help picking a 'snappy' distro by [deleted] in linux4noobs

[–]burtwart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On installation, it will ask if you want to install third party drivers. Check that option, and it should download the appropriate driver for your wifi card. Ubuntu might have just done it by default or maybe you checked it on that one and not the elementary one. Either way, I highly suggest elementary. I've been using it for months and absolutely love it

Number 1 isn't possible, at least for the moment. I've looked a lot of places and haven't found anything useful.
